Sometimes I
can’t fathom it, but luckily for me, he doesn’t feel that way. He
loves me like no other, like no other love I’ve ever found. Like
the sky, stretching far off into distant space, ever reaching,
never stopping … that’s like his love for me. It’s
incomprehensible. How? Why? How could someone so unworthy be worth
saving, worth loving? From the mountaintops I want to shout out all
the great things he’s done for me.

I’ll write them
down instead.

I wish that
there were words to fully describe it … I hope you know what I’m
speaking of. He is it. The purpose for everything. The reason. Like
a great treasure, far off in the distance, beaming brightly,
drawing you near. More than gold and silver and all the riches of
the earth. When you find him, you find peace. Joy. Salvation. And
for the rest of your life, you rejoice in your treasure. You thank
the Lord for drawing your feet down the path that lead you to him.
The moment he speaks to you, your life will change completely. The
moment you reach out for him, you’ll never be the same.

I don’t know
how else to explain it. It’s nothing wild and hyper-spiritual or
odd or crazy. It’s just God. Believing in God. Believing in Jesus.
Believing that I’m saved.

I’m going to be
battling this addiction for the rest of my life. I know that. I’ve
accepted it. God doesn’t magically take away all your problems. But
he helps you deal. He can help you with anything. All you have to
do is ask.

All day long, I
see people struggling. Succumbing to their sickness, defeated by
their weakness, helpless in their obsessions. Addicted. So I tell
them my story, in hopes that it will save them, somehow. It’s the
only way I know.

God saved me in
a real way, and I know He can save them too.

And he can save
you, if you’ll let him.
